Question
I have a 10mon, male, old eng. bulldog. he is chewing up my walls!  I don't haave a fenced in back yard and I work 12hr shifts. Is there anything that I can do?  I leave at least 5 toys out when I'm gone. but he is gated in a small area while I'm gone and I do have a kennel but I hate leaving him in it for so long.

Answer
Hi Lauren - Chewing Boy???  We can try some supplements to help calm your boy - he is board... 12 hrs is a long time to be gone.  Can you afford a dog walker to come over and give him some attention?
Just an idea....

Here are the supplements I suggest:

Nutri Calm - one per day ( hide in some cheese)

Lavender - I would place 5-6 drops into a 8 oz spray bottle... spray some of his bedding and the room - It will make him mellow...
Oh, it smells so soothing:

A good Immune system booster and Vitamin for Bulldogs - NuVET Plus - Very good results / bulldog breeders refer thousands of pup to NuVET Plus -  http://www.apluspetcare.com/untitled4.html



I sure hope this helps - You may also want to get a KONG and place some peanut butter in it...YOU can freeze it.
Keep him busy for some time...


BEST wishes
